Progress is made!

Well hopefully turned a corner this week.  Dropped 4 pounds since last Wednesday.  Now the key is going to be to continue the trend.  I've had to much up and down in the past few weeks so try to sustain momentum on the downward slide.

I'm kind of glad to see October pass.  With Thanksgiving trip to Regina, two out-of-town trips, and numerous evening functions for work my diet and exercise regimen was severely challenged.  I guess I should be relatively grateful that from a weight perspective I'm pretty much back at the October 1st starting point.  At this point I'd like to lose another 8 pounds at least to get into the 170s before Christmas hits.  Pretty much all that stands in my way is a 8 day stay in DisneyWorld at the end of November into December!  It may be the happiest place on earth but it doesn't mean its good for the body (or the pocketbook). 

I've been getting more consistent with the workouts too (I hope).  Got a long run in yesterday as well as an early morning swim.  Even after a bit of a layoff the swim experience was not too bad.  2200 metres with some good strength drills and some sustained leg kicks.  For my run I felt I demonstrated a bit more speed than usual.  So all in all a not bad week.
